I read one or two of the Sword of Truth books, and while the first one was interesting, I also didn't like how Goodkind tended to portray his characters (particularly the women - a LOT of them got a raw deal as far as violence done to them (there is a LOT of rape in those books); what made me quit the series altogether was when he made his protagonist Richard talk a rape victim in the second book (I think it was) into giving birth to the rapist's spawn instead of aborting it like she originally wanted to do. Yeah, me no likey the implied misogyny there).
Good luck with the therapy in treating your depression. I know only too well that feeling of being robbed of your life and being unsure where to start picking up the pieces. *hugs*
